The Frans Hals Museum | De Hallen Haar­lem is stag­ing the major exhi­bi­tion HUMOR: 101 years of laugh­ing at art in both venues. It illus­trates how artists used humour as a source of inspi­ra­tion. Since the com­ing of Dada in 1916, humour has played a major role in art, blow­ing a fresh new wind through the often seri­ous and pompous art world. De Hallen Haar­lem shows exam­ples of humor­ous Dutch art—from Dada, Sur­re­al­ism and Pop Art to Fluxus—along with humor­ous works from con­tem­po­rary art. In the Frans Hals Museum the focus is on car­i­ca­tures and par­o­dies of famous works of art
